Butter – This helps create that cookie dough flavor. I used unsalted butter, but you’re more than welcome to use salted butter and omit the salt from the recipe.
Cream cheese – This helps with the creaminess for the dessert dip.
Brown sugar – You can use light or dark brown sugar. This helps give the classic peanut butter cookie dough flavor.
Peanut Butter – Use your favorite creamy peanut butter. Mine is Jif. Don’t use natural peanut butter for this recipe.
